I'm now reading The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell, another of those women.

I took a break from slogging through a book on Russian dependence on oil to read Full House by Stephen Jay Gould. It's a much better book.

Re: What are you reading now? (Chapter 2)
I'm obsessed with India at the mo. Just finished Shantaram (a fantastic 900 page book), and now reading A Fine Balance. Started reading The Age of Kali, but it was too depressing.

The movie was better than most SF offerings, they did leave a lot of the humor in -- but the book was better. However, the movie didn't lag as far behind the book as most movies do their books. I saw the movie first (they showed it on the bus trip back home after failing to see the eclipse by ninety fucking seconds), and then the audiobook so I could "read" it at work. I do like Andy Weir's style; I should pick up some of his other work.

I am with you buddy! India really has the potential to be a super-power! I keep gravitating towards the Indians in Zurich, there are so many of them here, all with top education!pErvinalia wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 2:28 amI'm obsessed with India at the mo.

My husband studied Indian Studies (Linguistics) but focused on the Dravidian minority languages in the South. He went there for months on end to interview nomads about languages that have only 6000 speakers. There is no application for this kind of studies outside universities, and Europe is also not the best place for this either, compared to US, so useless studies overall, but oh, so fascinating!

A book on mass extinctions. I will give a class, maybe, in Sep. It will be just two sessions. My talk and slides, second session the movie on dinosaurs and the asteroid. I think it was a US outfit, not BBC. It's in the mail, have not reviewed it for usability.

Re: What are you reading now? (Chapter 2)
I just finished The Turn of the Screw by Henry James for a studies in fiction course I'm taking. Dear god, what is wrong with people! How is this considered necessary reading? My poor mind, my poor, poor mind.
